Jensen Beach High School

Jensen Beach High School is proud to introduce our Guidance Department. Mrs. Lisa Thiesen has worked at JBHS since the school opened 20 years ago! Mrs. Thiesen attended Mississippi State University. She became a Guidance Counselor because, "Working as a guidance counselor allowed me to use my training and skills as a counselor in a school setting and also provided the opportunity to coach various sports." She says, "My favorite part of the job is interacting with the students face to face and helping them navigate through the teenage years while finding a purpose and pathway to the future."

Jensen Beach High School is proud to introduce our Guidance Department. Ms. Diana Gutierrez attended the University of California, Irvine, for her undergraduate work and Concordia University, Irvine, for graduate school. Ms. Gutierrez says, "I was a first-generation college student in my family. I did not have the supports or resources growing up; so once I knew what a College Advisor did, I was very interested in becoming one. I've always loved helping others and finding a way to research and apply for free tuition, waivers, scholarships, grants, etc." Her favorite part of her job is "Getting to know the students and having them share with me their goals and accomplishments. I also love making a positive impact in students' lives as they're preparing for post-secondary plans."

Jensen Beach High School is proud to introduce our Guidance Department. Ms. Tiffany Jones attended the University of Florida to earn her B.A./M.Ed./Ed.S. degrees. Ms. Jones says, "I was originally planning to be a youth mental health counselor, and many of my clients had to be seen at school. I really loved the school environment, so I added school counseling & guidance degree requirements into my mental health program and fulfilled the requirements for both fields." She says her favorite part of her job as a Guidance Counselor is, "building relationships with students and families, getting to know who they are and what the students' interests and goals are. I believe that students need to have a positive connection with someone in the school that helps to guide them onto their next big adventure post-high school, as well as someone who can also walk along with them and provide support as needed."
